We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Test Results",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Digital systems reduce prototypes manufacture from
Autodesk, which we summarised at the time by saying "'Best-in-class' manufacturers make fewer prototypes owing to the growing sophistication of mainstream manufacturing design software, said Mike Lucas".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Materials test data exported to SQL database from
Lloyd Instruments: "An export utility has been added to materials test and control software to allow the automatic export of data from a materials tests run to an SQL database".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Lloyd Instruments
concerning its Self-aligning pipe compression jig
- take a look at Self-aligning compression jig tests plastics pipe
which says: "A self-aligning pipe compression jig evaluates the resistance to collapse of smooth-walled or corrugated pipes manufactured from PVC, PP and HDPE".
Take a look also at the news release from Bowers Metrology UK, Hardness tester has space for bulky workpieces,
as well as Employee vibration control consultancy offered from AV Technology,
and Universal material testing machines offer choice from Zwick Roell.
